LPGA’s star face, Lexi Thompson, has had a mixed year on the greens. Where her play has been in the best of its form, the golfer has had a hard luck cracking a win. In recent times, seeing all the results that the player births on the greens, it is hard to believe that she won’t be competing in the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples next week.
After her T7 finish at the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, fans have been curious about the player’s next move. The thought of seeing Thompson on the greens at the end of this year’s pro golf has left the silo intrigued. Does the golfer have any plans for a grand finish? Here’s what we have gathered.

Lexi Thompson’s next stop is the Grand Thornton Invitational in December. The player will be seen taking the greens one last time this season with her PGA Tour partner and 17x title holder Rickie Fowler. The 28-year-old currently holds the WWGR 26 and her play at the Greg Norman-designed course will be her last chance to secure a win this year.
The golfer posted about her experience playing at Annika’s event on her Instagram. Thanking all the sponsors, volunteers, and fans, Thompson added that the week was very special to her and thanked Annika Sorenstam for making it a possibility. “Thanks so much the Pelican Golf Club for hosting us, the course was in the best shape I’ve ever seen, and we got treated so well as usual,” the player remarked.
Further, Thompson added, “…That’s a wrap of my official 13th full Time year on LPGA, finished off the year strong with some good golf, so I’m going to take the positives and build on that!” The player then added that she will be seen at “the @grantthorntoninv in December” and concluded by saying that after her showdown, she will enjoy her off-season.

Thompson’s current position on the CME points charts is at 79, so she is not a part of the all-star flashing roster. Irrespective of this, however, her performance on the greens has been commendable. Here’s a look at how the golfer played at her last event.
